Re: DEFROSTED FRIDGE FREEZER THEN VERY STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN
I over come the problem by turning off the upstairs radiator stats during the summer.
During the winter i do not mind if the radiators upstairs come on.
The same with your Bosch it would need an engineer to call when the fault is happening to find the reason for the fault

Hi Brian
You did not use multiple colours or font sizes but maybe you will use colourful language

Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
Now myself and Brian has asked a heating question he might get the message.

Re: DEFROSTED FRIDGE FREEZER THEN VERY STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN
The three port zone valve the old timer and the hot water stat has been replaced but the fault has still happened intermitatantly.
My friend has said it is an old system and it may be time to replace it.
I am not in a hurry to do this as I know the newer systems are not as reliable since PCB’s have been used.
This is the same in refrigeration and since PCB’s have been used you can get intermittent faults that are hard to trace.
Thanks for your suggestions I will pass them on to my friend next time it happens.

If the sensors have water on the plugs it can confuse the PCB as this is like a basic computer program, if it gets the wrong info it try’s to rectify the problem and gets confused.

Re: Siemens fridge freezer. Ice maker.water not freezing in
This is the fan motor in the freezer faulty and not circulating the air.

:offtopic:
I have an old back boiler heating system and have an intermittent fault when the water heating only is turned on the upstairs radiators come on.
This only happens on the odd occasion and can go a few months without it happening.
Any Ideas as my friend who is a gas safe engineer has been unable to find the fault as it is so intermittent.

Re: DEFROSTED FRIDGE FREEZER THEN VERY STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN
Bosch do have a technical department but this is only available to Bosch appliance engineers and any direct contractors.
You said there was no water in the compressor tray so this points to the freezer drain is still blocked with ice.
It can take at least 48 hours to fully defrost a frost free freezer due to the insulation around the evaporator.
The most likely cause would be ice that has defrosted and unable to run away had turned to water and was shorting the sensor plugs.
By leaving the door slightly open this allowed the fan to dry the connections.
I have had customers before describe this fault after turning off and defrosting and found the unit still full of ice.
The best way to be sure it is fully defrosted and dry is to leave the appliance off for at least 48 hours with the doors fully open and check the compressor tray for water.
As I am sure in your job you can only tell with some faults by fully testing the appliance.
Martin :boops: sorry I mean Bob 😯
Re: Siemens fridge freezer. Ice maker.water not freezing in
The fans are inside the fridge and freezer compartment if you open the doors one at a time you can check the fans are working by pressing the light switch and holding it in.
There is a delay of about 30 seconds for the fans to start.
If. The compressor is running then the fans inside the freezer and fridge should work after you have held the light switch in for 30 seconds.
The most common fault is the freezer fan motor.

Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
I was going to answer him as well but glad I did not comment.
Left Martin with the problem.
BobRe: Siemens fridge freezer. Ice maker.water not freezing in
The fridge problem is also down to the fan motor not working as it takes the cold air from the freezer to cool it.
If the fan is not working the no cold air can be blown into the fridge
Re: LG fridge freezer
The buttons may be sticking.
If it has a child lock setting set to the temperature you require then put the child lock on.

Re: Virgin Broadband
My internet was slow when the super hub was fitted.
I complained as it was slow and it would lock out so it had to be reset.
Virgin fitted a new larger thicker cable now I get 50mb no problem and even when 4 of us use it at the same time it works great no slowing down even if downloading films.
